[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yeah - I am a parent that gives about 400 dollars a year in direct donations to the PTA and about 400 in supplies to teachers and books for staff  during the book drive, holiday gifts to staff, teacher appreciation....,[/quote]
Oh my word, those are not exceptional donation levels.[/quote]

So my dear snob, what is an exceptional donation level to you?   I give around four thousand between two schools thanks to the RHPS split.  Is that enough?  I appreciate the PP posters contributions and the contributions of every involved parent out there who gives either in TIME or FUNDING.  They make the difference for every child, not just their own.  So PP, thank you for being involved!

We are looking at privates now and will most definitely go private because of the capacity and equity issues with Option 7.  Since I am in the school so often (volunteer 4 hours a week), I have seen first hand the negative impact of overcrowding on all of the students at both of my kid's schools.  It is hard to watch, kids are suffering and the teachers are maxed out.  The schools are way too large.  The PP poster is 100% correct.  Under Option 7, Westland has an abundance of resources, including 1%er parents and an established PTA and established Principal/staff.  The new school will start off with an inexperienced staff and zero PTA dollars and fewer parents with disposable income .  The PP is right, this means no tutoring for at risk kids, no extracurricular activities, no scholarships for disadvantaged families for said activities or field trips. These two schools will be in no way equal or fair and it will become even more apparent over time.

It is obvious that the BOE doesn't care about people like me or my kids or the disadvantaged kids at our school (whose parents are afraid to speak up, even more so now with Trump), they have a preferred audience and that is RCF.  But that's OK, just watch, the RCF parents posting here won't be so smug in 5 years when the new middle is a mess of portables with no extras.  [/quote]
Why wouldn't they transfer half of the Westland teachers to the new MS? They certainly won't be needed at Westland after all.[/quote]
